It Begins

Here it begins, this little adventure in capturing pictures and sharing them. I've enjoyed taking pictures for many years. It's one of the most thrilling things for me to do - to frame a picture in my head, get the angle just right, and snapping the photo. However, lately, I have wrestled with finding a purpose for taking pictures. I do not want to pour myself into creating a beautiful shot just for it to sit in computer storage. My Dad threw out an idea for doing a summer photography challenge and sharing it on a blog. The initial idea was thrilling but a bit too big for me to start with. I got discouraged, but the idea of using a blog to share pictures stuck with me. So, this evening, I finally decided to just start - not wait for that "perfect" time, but just start. I grabbed my camera, prayed for God to show me the right picture and stepped into the backyard. The sun was setting and everything looked golden. And this is what I saw.


Most of all, when you see this blog, I pray that you see God's creation and love and joy. Those things are what inspire me the most when I am taking the pictures, so I pray that that is what overflows to you when you see them.
All glory to God!
